Not only is the drain located aft of the baggage area, the starboard drain
is exactly where Europa recommends locating the battery!

For tri-gear aficionados, note that the Europa drain kit calls for the
drains aft of the baggage area, and that may be a bit above the lowest
part of the tank on the tri-gear. Worse methinks for a gascolator
there, unless you hang it down in the breeze. I mounted fuel drains
under the seat pans; less plumbing anyway.
